The Book Challenge discussion

My target for 2008 = 50 books. yeahh.. I know it is very few, but I don't want to push myself too hard. Reading should be FUN!!

I did not list it before and now it is already end of August. So, instead of 50, I will go for 20 books starting now up to December 2008. About 4 books a month I hope ;D

Can't wait to up date my list!!

^_^

Good luck Ari! Agreed - books are definitely fun, ya gotta take your time and absorb everything, who's rushing us, yanno :)

Hi Vegas thanks for dropping your message.. ;D

I'll keep it fun .. Fun reading and Fun book hunting.. I love these both.. ^_^

but the temptation to looking at other people books on GR is irresistable ;P
It does delay my reading time .. he2x

Book 1 : The Eight - Katherine Neville
all about chess and people ambition to own the Montglane Service..

Book 2 : The Age of Innocence - Edith Warthon
Love affair in the old New York society..

Book 3: Mereka Menodong Bung Karno, Kesaksian Seorang Pengawal President by Sokardjo Wilardjito
(in Bahasa)


* start counting.. slowly but sure... *

I think 50 is really good, I average about that now but if I didn't have my train commute, I would find it really hard to do that - so good for you and good luck!

Thanks Allison!
